As long as that is true, I agree that the fact that so many autotool packages don't work well is irrelevant. However, I think the difficulty of using autotools (I mean using by packagers), as evidenced by all the people who get it wrong, justifies people being skeptical that util-linux really has that expertise available. Also, many open source projects are developed by a large diverse group of people, so even if there exist people who can do the autotools right, it doesn't mean they'll be done right. One reason I try to minimize the number of tools/skills used in maintaining packages I distribute is to enable a larger group of people to help me maintain them. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
